Official 2016-2017 NBA Season Thread - NBA rules Chris Bosh has a career ending injury

[trynafeelmink]

if he actually played defense his rebounding numbers would come down for sure
if he let his teammates actually operate instead of getting the ball back instantly if they aren't in a scoring position, then his turnovers would drop and so would his assists.

his defensive numbers based on that post a page or two back has him on par with Lebron defensively, so he's clearly not doing that bad.

Two, he does all that and it slows down the offense and deletes a lot of the fastbreak oppurtunities he creates getting the board. also taking the ball out of his hands to throw it in to Kanter, or letting Roberson & Oladipo try and create a shot would be one of the worst offenses in the L.

Again the numbers OVERWHELMINGLY state that OKC is better when he's playing for "stats" yet for the sake of Effieciency "stats" he should let up

Alvin gentry runs the exact same system as pringles.

Matter of fact he's a Pringle disciple.

Derek fisher runs the same system as Phil Jackson

You absolutely right. And if Phil had fisher's team, the results would be the same.

I guess you forgot about gentry taking the suns to the WCF.

Amin just said if he averages a triple double he gets his MVP vote as well. And if he doesn't it goes to Kawhi or Harden [emoji]129300[/emoji].

That makes two people. Do you realize how many people vote for MVP?

no doubt but we don't know if him being more efficient would do for the team, I personally think they would benefit. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you either because stats do show that they are clearly better when he gets the triple double

I am aware. They're not the only two media types to echo that sentiment though. There's more than y'all would like to believe.

This isn't LeBron checking his stats. This is LeBron the GM seeing where they need to improve and who needs to go.

The fact that Russell isn't a media darling is gonna cost him a few votes this year also.

 

[MVP]

The fact that Russell isn't a media darling is gonna cost him a few votes this year also.

On the contrary, he's been embraced by them this year. Especially with the departure of KD.

It's simple, be more efficient and lose. Go Ham and win.  HITP for $500, Alex.

They need to replace Max with Lavar on First Take. Steven A and Lavar B.

Looks like our final scoreboard is: three votes for Harden (Oliver, Pelton, Gupta), one each for Kawhi (Alamar) and Curry (Engelmann) and a half vote for pre-injury Durant and Thomas (Maheswaran). Which means zero votes combined for Westbrook, James, CP3 and Jimmy Butler -- which, by the way, would make one hell of a pickup team.

Max is dope if anything replace Screaming A.

I like Max but can you imagine the circus with Stephen A and Lavar every morning?

I agree with the top three comments in the comment section on that article

Actually most of the comments in the comment section were good.

Why did Curry get a vote?

 

[thirdtimearound]

and i'm in agreeance that Lebron can average a triple double if he wanted, but it would not be to the benefit of his team. We're talking about the same guy who notes his Fg% percentage after games, if he didn't feel averaging a triple double would hurt his team in the long run, he would absolutely attempt to do so.

That is why Russ averaging a triple double has been so impressive to me, he HAS to play at that level for them to make the playoffs. this isn't novelty stats, this is the most i've seen a team rely on one player to win since those after shaq Kobe teams. he doesn't get them & they lose A lot, he does get them & they win A lot. there's nothing empty about these stats.

Honestly the 10+ assists play A MUCH larger role in those Ws than the 10+ boards.

It's much harder for Westbrook to get his assists than Harden.

Harden is on one of, if not the best shooting teams in the NBA and Russ is on one of the worst.

I can't even recall how many times Russ has taken 2/3 defenders and gotten guys open looks for them to brick.

That doesn't happen on the Rockets because almost everybody can shoot it.


That's why I don't get mad at Russ takin 30 shots sometimes because guys on his team can't hit open shots and struggle to create offense.
